Camry :: 2004 With 4 Cylinder - Grumbling Sound On Accelerating From A Stop

I have a 2004 Camry, 4 cylinder. 48000 miles, had it since 08 when my mother passed, and it had 6500 miles on it then. Over the past few months it has developed a grumbling sound on accelerating from a stop. I thought it was only audible from inside but I heard it when my wife pulled away and now I am concerned. Two ways to describe this.

1. Grumbling.
2. A diesel like sound

It lasts for a very short time and is silent while driving and idling. I have also noticed that the idle "feels" low. It is about 600-650. Not sure what it should be.

My plan was to buy and change fuel filter, air filter, PVC , and maybe some injector cleaner...

Sonata I45 (LF 2015+) :: Grumbling Noise From Engine When Accelerating Uphill

I have a 2015 Sonata SE 2.4L with 15k miles. Sometimes when accelerating, and almost always when accelerating uphill, the vehicle makes a noise that I can best describe as sounding like a grumbling or rattle from the engine. It almost has a "diesel engine" sound to it. I have noticed this going back to when the vehicle was brand new, but I have recently noticed it more.

Camry :: 2007 SE V4 - Car Noticeably Louder Like Low Grumbling / Grinding Noise

My issue is my camry has gotten considerably louder. I know its currently winter but even with good weather and its idle still gets noticeably loud. has like a low grumbling, grinding noise. The car has about 72k miles on it i do my oil change roughly every 5k miles. i put full synthetic 0w-20 into the engine. As of late have been working a lot about 2 weeks ago i checked the oil levels and it didn't register on the dip stick. went to my friends house the next day and did an oil change. added 0w-20. fwe also replaced the valve cover gasket this past sunday as well as the spark plugs. I'm not sure if the lack of oil might've caused this issue or if it has to do with my exhaust system. Sounds more like its coming from the exhaust manifold or somewhere in-between. When we were changing my oil my friend did indicate that my car did touch bottom. I'm not sure the best way to approach this. Should i just take it to the dealer and have them look into why it has become much louder?

Toyota - Camry :: 1998 - Engine Kicking When Idling Or Accelerating

I got a 1998 Toyota Camry with 2.2L 4 cylinders and have almost 210K miles on it.

Starting about 2 months ago, I was experiencing some minor engine kicking when it was either idling or accelerating, not really such a big deal. About a month ago, I took it to my mechanic shop and he told me that I need to clean up the throttle body. I took his advice, let him did the work and the car still doing the same thing. I did a lot of research on the internet and many people suggested replacing the spark plugs and after I replace the plugs (Bosch, not something cheap), the situation got even worse.

The engine starts kicking more frequently and violently and the “Check Engine” light came on (and flashing). I took my car to a local auto parts store and have their people get the error code for me, it was something about engine misfire and they told me I should have my mechanic to take a look.I took the car back to my mechanic, 2 days later when I called him for update, he told me the cause of the problem was the spark plug cables didn’t plugged in securely. But just before I drove off the mechanic’s parking lot, the engine did it again. I didn’t go back to ask my mechanic because I truly believe he did not want to spend any more time on my car.

Here are the current conditions of my car,

•It never fail to start when the engine is cold or warm
•When I stopped at traffic light, the engine ran smoothly, after about 10 to 20 seconds of idling, it starts kicking. It will do this no matter if my gear in in P, R, N or D.
•When the car is completely stop and then I press the accelerator, the engine will act like it’s going to choke and if I keep holding the accelerator, 2 to 5 seconds later it will rev up and going
•I will be even worse if I have my AC on.
•It runs smoothly if it on the highway
•It always acting up if I try to make a 90 degree right turn and never happens on a left turn
•The “Check Engine” light did come up again but went away 2 days later.
•I made a hard brake yesterday and it took the car about 15 seconds to be able to rev up the engine again.

Camry :: 2010 LE - High Pitched Whining Noise When Accelerating Or Revving Engine In Park

I bought a CPO 2010 Camry LE (2.5 4 cyl, 6 sp auto) a few months ago. The car had around 34K miles when I got it, and ever since then, it has had a high pitched whining noise when accelerating or revving the engine in park. It is noticeable from around 2500RPM up, and seems to be a little louder when the engine is cold.

I have left it at the dealer twice, and both times they have come back and said it is normal. I can't believe this, because I have owned many cars over the years, most of them being fairly dilapidated, yet most of them haven't had a noise like this. I think I have read a comment online somewhere that an issue like this was found due to a bad power steering pump .

Passat (B5) :: Car Grumbling, Chokes And Then Roughly Starts In The Morning

My 2001.5 Passat, 143,000 miles, has a problem which has me stumped. In the morning it won't catch. Starter turns over fine. Have to pump gas a bit. After 7 or 8 attempts, it (grumbling) coughs, chokes and then roughly starts. If I let it sit for a few minutes, it smooths out. After that, I have no trouble starting up the rest of the day, and engine runs smoothly and quietly. One buddy sez its the fuel pump; buddy #2 sez its the MAF filter; #3 sez its a sensor or maybe gummed up fuel injection. I used injector cleaner, but it hasn't worked.

Toyota - Corolla :: 1992 - Grumbling Noise At Shut Off

I bought the car new in '92 and have taken very good car with oil changes and required maintenance. The vehicle just turned 200 K miles, although mechanics have said they have seen these cars top 300 K miles. Noise started about a month ago and was initially noticed after turning off the engine after a 15 mile drive. Started happening more frequently after 10-15 mile drives.

Now it happens on short drives (5-6 miles), but not every time, and not when I brought to my mechanic to examine (figures!). Water was put through the radiator hose to flush out any trapped air, so that is not it. The noise is a cross between a grumbling of both air and water and it goes on for quite awhile. I stayed in the car about 3-4 minutes after shut off and it was still acting up.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Grinding Noise Comes And Goes - Front Wheel Grumbling

Tonight it was a perfect 72 degrees and I had to run over to a friend's house and pick up my backpack as I didn't feel like riding my bike the ten miles home with that thing on my back. As I usually do when it's nice outside, I opened both front windows and the sunroof and immediately noticed a mid-level pitch grinding noise that comes and goes but is mostly noticeable at low speeds. Initially I thought it was the brakes dragging but it doesn't change with a brake application so I'm guessing it's the front wheel bearings. I'm calling the dealer in the morning to set up a service appointment.

Elantra MD (2010-15) :: Power Loss For A Second / Car Shaking With Grumbling Sound

My 2014 Elantra Limited Automatic 1.8 has just developed a problem tonight. I was backing up my driveway, when the car began shaking, making a grumbling sound, and felt like it lost power for a second. I pulled out of my driveway and tried backing up again about 5 more times, and it kept on repeating the problem. The car was leaking what appeared to be a clear fluid which stained the garage floor. It drives fine going forward, and only has 4,000 miles.

Ford - Brakes - Escort :: 1996 - Grumbling Sound After Front Pad / Rotor Replacement

The shop replacing my front tires advised me to replace my front brakes and rotors soon. I'm not a huge car repair person, but I remembered my father-in-law saying brakes aren't that bad to work with. The car is the "college beater" I bought ten years ago and I'm trying to keep investments in it minimal. I told the shop I would do the brakes myself. So I spent the weekend with the Haynes manual fussing with overtorqued lug nuts, rusted on rotors, tightly wedged guide pins, and outer pads that didn't seem to have room (not the piston side). Got everything assembled, bled the caliper that was disconnected, and took it for a test drive.

I got about 30 feet from the driveway before pulling back in. The front of the car was making an grumble sound and had an odd vibration like a flat tire. This was with brakes engaged and not engaged. The car stopped fine, but I probably didn't get above 10 mph. Is this part of the "bedding/seating" process? I put in new (cheap) rotors and pads. This afternoon I'll check to ensure the pads are in properly and aren't dragging on the rotor and that I have the wheels properly centered. Car is a 96 Ford Escort 2 door hatchback.

Abs - Brakes - Pontiac - Torrent :: 2006 - Grumbling / Scraping Feeling From Brake Pedal?

I have 2006 Pontiac Torrent AWD with front disc and rear drum brakes. My ABS & traction control lights come on together (sometime) when I hit brakes slowly to slow down my car around 20-30km/h with a grumbling/scraping feeling sent to my feet from brake pedal (feel like rumble strip on highway). ABS & T/C lights go away if I shut off engine and restart car. It also happens if I accelerate at that speed. This issue does not happen when I hit brake hard.

Lexus SC430 :: 2003 Vehicle Over Heating - Grumbling Noise In The Dash On Driver Side

I just got it and the gauge is showing a little hot. I took it in they found nothing. The fans runs almost all of the time. It even started running when I was sitting in my driveway with it in park (it was about 55 degrees outside at the time). I also hear some grumbling noise in the dash on the drivers side. It sounds like something is trying to work (the radio is off and it still makes this sound).

Nissan - Xterra :: 2002 - RPMs Drop When Coasting - Grinding / Whirring And Grumbling Noise

I have a weird issue with my 2002 4x2 manual Nissan Xterra...when I drive along (usually happens when I'm in 3rd or 4th gear), and depress the clutch pedal to start slowing down for traffic, while the gear lever is still in the 3rd or 4th gear position, the rpms start coming down as the car coasts, but then a strange grinding/whirring/grumbling noise starts happening. The noise immediately goes away if I pull the gear lever into neutral, OR if I re-engage the clutch to start accelerating again. So, it only happens when BOTH the clutch pedal is depressed, AND the gear lever is "in gear". What could this be? The car has about 115K miles, but I believe the previous owner changed the clutch recently (80-90K), and the clutch itself feels fine.
